No issue with this at all. The RAC and the atmosphere is a selling point. Football needs to take advantage of it as much as possible.
Football recruits
- Thread starter hinson32
- Start date
When there is student demand they should always get the seats over recruits from another sport
Are there still offices above the lobby? Would make a nice recruiting lounge, but as with FB they still need seats once the game starts right?
Relax guys. BBall recruits come to the football games too.
I would think we got a commit or 2 from this atmosphere

all he did was get us in the B1G. Who gives a sh1t about Big East?
But he didn’t lose to UMass…just saying 😁
B1G didn’t take us because of bball.
True stay out of the RT, we mostly talk football there year round. Even if 30% of it is Block repeating the same thing over and over...lol.
Jerry should start finding out the beers sold each game
I don’t understand why we never use the doors closest to the bigger lot to let fans in. Why is it exit only?
So all this angst and teeth gnashing in TWO different threads and everyone was let in. Typical of RU fans to jump the gun without an ounce of facts.
We should have Richie put a FOIA request in for that information.
All of our programs need to work together- I think coach Pike and GS would be the first to say that. I hope what Carino tweeted is true. We have to find a way to get those students in.
I still can’t get over this thread.
People resent Schiano for bringing recruits to the game.
And complain in the fall when we’re outgunned on the football field.
Something has gotta give…
I was a student in 2006. There was tremendous student demand for the Louisville game, and not everyone got to go. That’s life.

It’s not about Schiano today. It was about celebrating the seniors.
Sarcasm guys. That was one of the standard arguments by the anti GS crowd during the rehire.
You can’t take 1/3 of the student section. And you can’t take the first 4 rows. Shameful.
bac in the day, we had to get our student tickets monthly not just pick them up at the game..that made sure that people who really made the effort to go to the game would get first pick
we often waited in long lines that wrapped into the side hallways at the rac at 8AM with 4 ids

As posted by someone at the game:
So we should just ignore all the other integral parts to the game day experience and not have seats set aside for their parents either? All students were allowed in per Jerry Carino so doesn't that make everything moot?
I love RUnfootball and Basketball and have season tix to voth. But the football recruits at a big game at the RAC has always been a pet peeve of mine too. Mostly because they take up a lot of space and are too cool to cheer so they mostly just sit on their hands.
I’d like for recruiting trips to the RAC to be a bit more high valued.
Something where the truly ELITE level recruits are the ones that get to attend games in the RAC as recruits. (Conference games only?)

Easy Solution.... Tell Schiano when he is fighting for the 4th Spot in the entire B1G Conference in football he can get as many seats as he wants !!! 🤗🤗
Until then, "Let my People (students) Go !

Yeah tell that to the Head Coach that provides more than 80% of the revenue for the entire AD. Smart thinking!!
I was in the student section behind the band and that’s where the extra students were - people were standing in both the row and on the benches (ie if you were standing in your row, you couldn’t sit down on the bench behind you because people were standing on it) … I.e. twice as many people than seats
Que up the ledger story, Jersey Mike’s arena is a fire hazard or Rutgers ignore fire code or Rutgers puts sports over safety of students.
It is part of the recruiting game and Schiano is taking good advantage of it. If it helps us acquire a desired player I don’t see the harm in it.
With so little positive energy and gameday experience to show football recruits, it's great to have the RAC to show these kids what Rutgers can be like if we get it going in football. I'm all for using our assets to support football recruiting.
